Bernthal deserves some kind of award. Without his performance this character would not work the way it does.
I love this episode because it shows how his character becomes what he is. Some scenes is hard to watch (I'm 16) but I can live with that.
(8.4/10) - This episode provided us with a highly anticipated detailed insight into Frank's twisted and dark past, that forced him to become who he is and shaped his future. The whole story was well written, with some thought-provoking dialogue between our characters and obviously a couple of intense action sequences. Not only did we get to see what Castle's life was like as a war vet/oblivious hitman, but we also got some decent scenes where Frank was interrogating David Lieberman/Micro and then, similarly to the previous episode, the tables turned and Micro was able to get answers and persuade The Punisher to join forces with him.
I really enjoyed the sub-plots as well, with Lewis, who was also unaware of the hell he had gotten himself into. I felt very sympathetic towards his character and thoroughly hope that he can have a positive future, depending on which path he is going to take, however based on the advice he was given by O'Connor, and the fact that he could have shot his dad, things don't look too promising at the moment.
Overall, this was a nice improvement on 'Episode 2: Two Dead Men' and I look forward to exploring the lives of both Lewis and Russo, but also seeing the interesting dynamic between Frank and David and finding out whether Lieberman's idea and visions are realistic and he's not some sort of villain.
Great war flashbacks, definitely shows how Frank became damaged like this.
Liebermann's character is growing pretty well, and it looks like the duo might work.
Still not much into the Madani storyline, not sure it will lead anywhere interesting except the "he kills people it's bad, I'm gonna get him, but hey that's good work, but I'm still gonna get him because he killed my friend" routine.
I like gruff. Not Christian Bale/Batman gruff. Bernthal is coming awfully close to Christian Bale/Batman gruff.
Hope it gets soon better need more punisher aktion and a real story not that old shit we heard on daredevil
After tying Micro down to a chair, Frank attempts to learn more about Micro's intentions for seeking him out. The disguise of the pen as a needle really surprised me, but it was necessary for Micro to open himself up and hope to gain Frank's trust. The flashback scenes provide wonderful insight into Frank's falling out in the military. I'm interested to see where this is headed.
ah that scene in the corridors of the house, mark of the house
Unbelievably boring episode with Frank wallowing in misery as well as being stubborn and stupid beyond belief.
The best episode of the series so far.
Lol, what what with thatan cuddling scene? Fps or playback speed were totally of.

Excellent glimpse into Frank's past. It shows a lot of where his inner rage is coming from. I am also really enjoying the focus on the other vets and how they are readjusting and coping with their PTSD. This country still has a lot to learn on how to handle our Vets with respect and getting them the help they desperately need and deserve.
